21、Improve the culture of reading in schools
As a form of students studying at school, I must admit that we have a long way to go to make Malaysia a reading nation. At schools, I have found that most students only focus on studying and preparing for important examinations. 【1】
Although the ministry of education had introduced the literature component at the secondary level, the standard of reading leaves much to be desired. Thus, I propose that schools arrange more time for reading books, especially non-academic books such as novels and short stories which have literary values and merits. 【2】 They should be suggested as part of a regular reading campaign.
The reading culture must be trained at a young age. Admittedly some students speak and write well in English largely due to their parents' encouragement who are highly educated. A large number of students who come from poor backgrounds do not have the advantage of reading and improving their language skills. 【3】 Merely emphasizing reading is not enough. Schools must set the trend.
【4】 Each classroom should be well-stocked with books and students instructed to read at least three books in a week. The school library should also be well-stocked. Currently, school libraries mostly stock academic books. Very few popular works of fiction by great writers are stocked.
It is my belief that if the above suggestions are taken seriously by the schools as part of the extra-curriculum, a great number of students won’t feel ashamed about their language ability. 【5】 They will try their best to improve themselves without the prompting of school authorities and their teachers.
A.At least two free periods must be allocated for reading.
B.In this way, students would strengthen their writing skills.
C.These books that can enhance one's general knowledge are plenty.
D.In fact, students will eventually develop their interest in the language.
E.So schools play a great role in encouraging the reading habit among students.
F.Their reading is limited to school books so they possess restricted knowledge.
G.When students enter university they will have more time for extra-curricular activities.

24、On Friday, Shannon Grimm noticed that a 5-year-old girl, Priscilla, in her kindergarten class was really sad and depressed at school, because she was teased by some students, who said that her short hair made her look like a boy.
“What is a better way to show them that you can look any way and still be true to yourself than to cut my own hair?” Grimm said to herself. After thinking deeply, she decided to cheer the student up by showing support, so she chopped her waist-length brown hair into the same pixie cut as Priscilla's.
Walking into a grocery store or other public places with her new haircut did make Grimm feel awkward. However, she said the temporary discomfort was worth it because she was able to help Priscilla feel better about her appearance. “I don't want my students to ever feel like their confidence is down because of the way people look at them and say things to them.” Grimm said.
At a school meeting last week, the little girl Priscilla presented Grimm with a medal for being her hero during a difficult time. More important to Grimm, her creative way works out.
“Who's beautiful?” Grimm asked Priscilla later. “Me.” the girl responded with a smile.
Although Grimm said she missed her long hair, she said the experience had allowed her to better understand Priscilla's feelings. “Sometimes you just have to experience it. You have to teach them and show them that you're there for them.”
Her hair will grow back, but Grimm said she hopes to give a more lasting lesson to her students.” It doesn't matter what haircut you have,” she said. “You're beautiful no matter what.”
【1】What made Priscilla teased by her classmates?
A.Her ugly face.
B.Her low grades.
C.Her rude manners.
D.Her boyish hairstyle.
【2】How did Grimm help Priscilla?
